The Bangui Accord, in force across all States that make up the African Intellectual Property Organization (known by its French acronym OAPI) governs both industrial property and copyright. Although the subject matter covered under copyright resembles closely that of the international intellectual property regime, Folklore, the focus of this paper, benefits from a unique system. In fact, the States of OAPI, via the revised Bangui Accord established a sui generis system of protection for traditional cultural expressions or Folklore. The special rules applicable to Folklore have been a very controversial proposition. Despite this, the sui generis system even if it is subject to certain limitations, is better suited to protect Folklore that can be diverse and ever changing.

To control and think about death through cinema is perhaps one of the possibilities offered by Emmanuelle Bercot's feature film starring Benoît Magimel and Catherine Deneuve. De son vivant tackles head-on the question of fate, through the life-and-death story of a young man in his forties suffering from a disease whose prognosis is grim. We follow Benjamin, in the last year of his life, as he faces the inevitability of his finitude announced in this clearly stated time frame: from six months to one year. In so doing, he finds himself and his family plunged radically into the heart of his existential questions, faced with a series of choices that he must make, despite – or thanks to – the reality of his death. The many ethical issues encountered throughout his journey are exposed for all those involved: caregivers, patients and relatives.

Best known for her 2016 suspense novel, Chanson douce, Leïla Slimani first attracted attention for her novel about a female sex addict, Dans le jardin de l’ogre. Having realized that women never figure in media accounts of sexual addiction, she immersed herself in Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, François Mauriac’s Thérèse Desqueyroux, Joseph Kessel’s Belle de jour, and Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. Reviewers of Dans le jardin de l’ogre often mention the latter in passing, and Slimani herself has identified Emma as one of her favorite heroines, but thus far there has been only one scholarly study that deals with specific connections between the two novels. While they seem unlikely bedfellows on the surface—Flaubert’s text is a traditional nineteenth-century roman de formation that unfolds in linear fashion, while Slimani’s is decidedly modern in subject and in its slippage back and forth in time—a close reading reveals numerous uncanny similarities in narrative technique, characterization, themes, and motifs. It is hard to imagine a more promising pairing to test Julia Kristeva’s theory that “tout texte se construit comme mosaïque de citations, tout texte est absorption et transformation d’un autre texte” (85). This study shows that Dans le jardin de l’ogre is one of those mosaics that has “absorbed” many of Madame Bovary’s salient features and “transformed” them into something quite modern and distinctive.
